Dave Neary
Community Gardener, Red Hat

Dave Neary works on Red Hat’s Open Source and Standards team, helping to make all of Red Hat’s upstream projects wildly successful.

With a long history of participation in free software projects, including the GIMP, GNOME, OpenWengo, Maemo and MeeGo, Dave has been exploring the subject of company/community interactions for over a decade.

Every community manager knows that community metrics are important. But they all have their own set of hacky scripts for extracting data from various tools.
Building on the work of Pentaho, Talend, MLStats, gitdm and a host of others, we built a generic community dashboard for the MeeGo project. This presentation will cover the data we extracted, how we did it, and how you can do it too.
